3. Click the Add New Configuration button () and select Spark Submit | Cluster.

4. Enter the run configuration name.

5. In the Remote target list, do one of the following:

   • If you have connected to an AWS EMR cluster, you can upload your application on it.

   • If you have SSH configurations, you can use them to submit applications to a custom remote server.

   • Otherwise, click Add EMR Connection or Add SSH Connection.

6. In the Application field, click and select the application to be submitted.

7. In the Class field, type the name of the main class of the application.

   

8. You can also specify optional parameters:

   • Run arguments: arguments to run the application.

   • Under Spark Configuration, set up:

     • Cluster manager: select the management method to run an application on a cluster. SparkContext can connect to several types of cluster managers (either Spark’s own standalone cluster manager, Mesos, or YARN). See more details in the Cluster Mode Overview.

     • Deploy mode: cluster or client.

     • Target upload directory: the directory on the remote host to upload the executable files.

     • Spark home: a path to the Spark installation directory.

   • Under Maven, select Maven-specific dependencies. You can add repositories or exclude some packages from the execution context.

   • Shell options: select if you want to execute any scripts before the Spark submit.

     Enter the path to bash and specify the script to be executed. It is recommended to provide an absolute path to the script.

     • Proxy user: a username that is enabled for using proxy for the Spark connection.

     • Driver Java options, Driver library path, and Driver class path: add additional driver options. For more information, refer to Runtime Environment.
